Good question, one difference I have noticed is that rats are often killed by cats, I wish our two wouldn't hunt the horrible things, but I have yet to see or hear of a cat hunting and killing squirrels.


Maybe squirrels are rats with a heightened sense of feline presence?

Well the first difference is that squirrels are squirrels and rats are rats.


They?re both rodents but fill very different niches. Rats are scavengers and will eat anything whereas squirrels are quite selective about what they eat. Because of this, rats live naturally on the ground and in holes where rubbish gathers and squirrels live naturally in tree where they can find nuts.


For both these reasons squirrels are a lot less likely to sneak into your house and crawl up your drainpipe. Therefore we like squirrels and not rats.


Squirrels are also fluffy and unlike rats don?t always get type cast as villains in cartoons.

Well in my chilhood days Tufty Squirrel used to teach us all about road safety, and how to look right, look left and right again before crossing.

If Tufty'd've been a rat we'd've all shat ourselves and just ran into the road in sheer panic and all been killed under lorries.

A whole generation dead because of the wrong choice of rodent.

It makes you think.

But if Tufty Fluffytail had been child friendly Rat on the Road Roland Rat then maybe we would not have done this.


Also, I beleive the only Squirrel actually internatyionally renowned for it's discretion is Secret Squirrel!


Also, my name is not squirrely it's ratty


That's enough to be getting on with ffs!

Frankly this is a ridiculous comparison.:X

When a rat can do the following then lets compare:-


Secret Squirrel served as a secret agent (his designation was "Agent 000"), taking orders from his superior "Double-Q." Secret was assisted in his adventures by fez-wearing side-kick Morocco Mole, a mole. The pair fought crime and evil enemy agents using cunning and a variety of spy gadgets, including a machine gun cane, a collection of guns kept inside Secret's coat, and a variety of devices concealed in his hat (which he almost never removed).


End Of.

Top pictures here! I'd love to see a picture of Asset's cat squaring up against a (grey) squirrel! Haven't seen a red one for over a decade :(


Hmm, crouching squirrel:

I'm saying that's quite sufficient, unless we have amongst us a squirrel that can type, which I doubt, those lolloping nut-collecting interlopers can go and put the fruits of their labours up their bottoms.

I'm going with EDF's own Ratty, who I reckon would face down and send off the feistiest squirrel, with a hearty 'FOOK OFF'

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
